    Trailer canvas/trap ID on a M105 bed?

    I didn’t get one before I removed it. I can unroll it and take one on the ground or try to put it back on when the weather is better.

    Trailer canvas/trap ID on a M105 bed?

    Does this cover look like what you were searching for? There are no straps or buckles like I’ve seen on gen trailers.

    Trailer canvas/trap ID on a M105 bed?

    That makes the most amount of sense. The width is pretty close but spacing out the bows further would make it fit. It’s not an option for the 105 bed obviously but on a flatbed, sure. I may just look for another cover that fits and save this one for later.

    Trailer canvas/trap ID on a M105 bed?

    I took it back off the truck and inspected it again. No other markings that I could find. I measured the top length at 137” from front seem to back. The sides were 66” tall. It’s definitely too small the the M35. It’s not in great shape so unless it’s something rare, I’ll probably cut it down to...

    Trailer canvas/trap ID on a M105 bed?

    I don’t leave my bows in the M35 since they are wood but I want to install them today and see. I think it’s too small for it. It doesn't have any windows in the end panels either. I know the Mobil kitchens like the MKT series have a permanent roof panel and separate sides. Wish it had a number...

    Trailer canvas/trap ID on a M105 bed?

    The only marking I saw were “Forward” on the inside front panel and “Aft” on the rear. Of course I saw that after I installed it backward.

    Trailer canvas/trap ID on a M105 bed?

    That’s possible. The larger ones I’ve seen have zippers but I have limited experience with them. I wondered if it was even for a trailer.

    Trailer canvas/trap ID on a M105 bed?

    I bought a cover out of a M105 bed on marketplace. The guy didn’t have the sides or bows so it was just folded up in the bed. When I got home and tried it, it’s too large by about a foot on each dimension. Anybody have an idea what it might fit before I cut it up to make it fit?

    Medium towbar 1” feet?

    Thanks! I had the part number from the towing guide. When I searched, only the 3/4” pin size foot would show up. Both of the links for the 3/4” and 1” show the same number on your site. That’s why I didn’t find it.

    Medium towbar 1” feet?

    That works for me. I found a set on eBay but a friend of mine needs a set too. I’ll pm you my cell number.

    Medium towbar 1” feet?

    Not sure why I didn’t see them the first time but when I searched “military tow bar feet”, I found a set on eBay. Decent price too. Hopefully the description was accurate.

    Medium towbar 1” feet?

    Anybody know where I can find the 1” feet for a medium towbar? The one I have is the 3/4” for the Humvee and I’d like to use it on the M35. I’ve searched but guess I haven’t used the right part number or combination or words.

    Gasser Deuce top speed?

    Just ran across the old thread and realized I never updated it. I bought a NOS exhaust manifold and gaskets and was able to fix the exhaust leak. I also decided to try a diesel transmission with OD. At the same time, I realized I had a broken pressure plate so it snowballed into a clutch disc...

    Modern 24 volt alternator install

    I didn’t recognize the user name but I recognize the truck and the 6BT in the pics. I’ve probably watched every one of your videos and many of them at least twice. Thank you for taking the time to document everything! It was extremely helpful when replacing my front axle seals and boots. When...

    Modern 24 volt alternator install

    Post some specifics. Pictures and part numbers are always appreciated. I like the Delco idea because I can get one at Napa if necessary. I also have no accessories so 70 amps is plenty for now but another option is good to have info on.
